Wifi and Digital Cameras: The Latest Techie Craze (part 2)

April 4th, 2006 · No Comments

If you are having difficulty trying to figure how the whole thing works, then take this as an example. Nikon has recently released two models of digital cameras that are WiFi enabled. The basic idea is to be able to transmit your pictures straight from the camera to your computer or printer through a wireless adaptor. You simply bring up the images that you want to transfer; click “go”, and then it get sent through the air to your printer.

The Coolpix P1 and P2 will probably cost about $400 to $550, while the adaptor would be an additional extra. Nikon is competing with Kodak, who also recently released its own version of the WiFi camera in their Easy Share line of cameras. Kodak has already took the next step forward by making it easy to share photos by transmitting them at so called “wireless hot spots“, usually cafes or stores where wireless access is sold or given away to customers. These only proved that leading camera makers are determined to add value to their already impressive digital technology.

Digital cameras continue to be hot sellers despite what some in the industry thought would be sluggish sales this year. A lot of them even predicted that cell phone cameras would slow digital camera sales, but the continuous popularity of digital cameras proved otherwise.
